The building boom is now on in Steelton and nearly thirty new dwelling houses are now in the course of construction in various parts of the borough. All the departments at the Pennsylvania Steel Works are running to their capacity. A number of large orders were received during the week, the most important of which was the contract for the structural work for the new East river bridge in York city. The contract is one of the largest ever secured by the Pennsylvania Steel Company and certain departments will be kept busy on the work for the next year.

During the week 103 new names were added to the company's payrolls. There are now more men emploj ed at the works than ever in the history of the company. Arrested and Discharged. Reuben Hemperly was arrested last evening by Constables Miller and Day on the charge of being implicated in the recent trunk robberies on the "West Side.

Hemperly was given a hearing last evening before Justice Dimkle, but the evidence did not warrant holding him for court and he was discharged.
